Why do the idiot politicians make it sound like the recent veto is a step back for embryonic stem cell research?

That in no way hinders organizations from conducting the research.  It's about the money ~ saying the american tax payers aren't going to fund it.

Duh.

Everyone knows you don't need to "research" them. You just take the dead fetus, crack it open and suck the cells right out!

Stem Cell treatment has saved the lives of two very close friends who had been told there cancer was un-treatable.  They are both in full remission.

After this,  i'm 100% for it.

Stem cell research has found cures, (Adult stem cells). Embryonic stem cell research has not cured anything yet.

At this point the topic is strictly a partisan divider from one party to the other, to make them look bad in the public eye.

California alone is already spending more on embryonic stem cell research than the federal government would have without the Bush veto.

Unless Congress comes up with the votes to override, they need to stop beating this dead horse until the Bush administration moves out.

i'm in favor of storm cell research, storm cells breed tornadoes and hurricanes and kill people and break things, we must do everything we can to stop storm cells.

the feds and kalifornia are not "funding" anything.

They don't have any money to fund anything.   What we are talking about is letting kalifornia and the feds take money from us to spend on it.

Bingo.

First it should be understood that it's only embryonic stem cell research that has been denied funding.

A lot of flash and smoke is being used to try and say that no research is being done simply because federal funding has been witheld. I would say it's time to have telethons like they do for MS and some other equally valid research items. Michael J Fox is welcome to fund as much as he wants from his more than adequate funds.

because the average dumbarse can't figure that out and they believe Bush is killing the Michael J Fox's of the world by not letting my tax dollars hack up murdered babies in something some called "research".
If it was the wonder cure, funding would not be the issue as everyone would be investing in it .. privately, the gov does not need to be involved. Just another thing right Bush has done but has been twisted by the ,left and their media buds to portray something evil, wrong and stupid.

California voters approved the funding specifically for the research.

Don't waste time on embryonic stem cells in the USA.
The French will get the lead :t

Research with cord-blood stem cells and adult stem cells are chock full of promise.  A number of successes have already been achieved... real cures, as opposed to those that are merely theoretical, pie-in-the-sky fantasies.

Embryonic stem cell research:  no successes.  Zilch. Nada.  The problems controlling the growth of these cells in the lab are proving to be insuperable.  In my opinion, this is poetic justice for those scientists and their supporters who have so cavalierly brushed aside the ethical and moral questions about conducting such research.

More money won't overcome these problems.  Government funds would be far more wisely spend on cord-blood and adult stem cell research.
